Combined effects of microplastics and petroleum hydrocarbons on Chlorella vulgaris in different aquatic ecosystems: Bioavailability study.
Microplastics (MPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) frequently coexist in aquatic ecosystems, creating complex pollution scenarios whose interaction with primary producers remains poorly understood. This study evaluates, for the first time, how extracellular polymeric s...
